I have decent experience using my own FDM printer and third party services using SLS, I design my own mechanical parts too. I know what you mean and I know joy and frustrations of owning a 3d printer. There’s no arguing that quick turnaround helps design process tremendously. It’s just currently I have to make do without one.
They (JLC) have requirements well specified and automatic rule checker rejects problematic parts. I had several virtual iterations with it before I got my parts dialed in. They should cause no problems.
As for them restarting failed prints, heh. I really hope not. Large machines tend to be loaded to the brim with multiple jobs combined and they are pretty reliable.
Nice parts! I’m still waiting for my parts (slow post), which should arrive soon.
After some back and forth with their support I actually like them. When they can’t do something, they explain it plainly and suggest that you modify the model. Time delays are just something I needed to adjust to after many years of using the PCB service.
Why are there so many "This is an automated archive" posts in the feed?
Is it just me, or is this something everybody is seeing?
Printing at JLC
Can we discuss printing using services (jlcpcb, pcbway, shapeways etc) here? Materials, limitations, personal experiences etc?...
Preeetty sure I found the cause of my under-extrusion woes
